The debt clock must now be stopped whenever Democrats speak

Feb. 28, 2013 3:23pm Meredith Jessup

Good news, everyone — The nation’s bebt crisis has been resolved, thanks to Democrats on Capitol Hill. You know, because what you can’t see can’t hurt you, or something.

You can’t make this stuff up:

During a House Financial Services Committee hearing Tuesday on the budget, two Democrats complained after House Financial Services Committee chairman Jeb Hensarling instructed that two monitors in the hearing room display a real-time running national debt clock.

California Rep. Maxine Waters and Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison both issued complaints about the displays, according to video of the hearing. …

Waters asked that the debt clock not be on display whenever Democrats spoke, Hensarling said during the hearing.

“At the request of the ranking member, the national debt clock will not be put on the screens during Democratic time,” said Hensarling, a Texas Republican.

WATCH:

In other ridiculous Maxine Waters news, the sequestration may cost America 170 million jobs. That’s quite a threat considering the fact that only 134 million Americans currently work.

See Maxine explain America’s doomsday after the jump!

WATCH:

Are you scared yet?

…and so in tried and true RINO form, Chairman Jeb Hensarling dropped trousers, bent over and spread those cheeks wide, because a DemonicRat complained…

Now the only ones seeing the debt clock will be a few members who really give a darn about it, while those that don’t want to see it will thus be encouraged to pile on.

Maxine the Communist would have served her Master better, by complaining about the very presence of the Chairman…

Its because they can’t have the TRUTH literally running in front of the people’s eyes…. as the $$’s just keep counting.

Pretty hard to sell 170M people will be out of work on $89Billion Sequester when Big-G gets to spend $5.2Million per Minute.

The House & Senate Finance Committees Should make it MANDITORY for US DebtClock.org to be the Official Screen Saver of every Government computer…. and a sign that says, “is this for the good of the country as a whole OR for Selfish Gain & Power?” Just a thought…..
